Finally! I finished it. It was a very good book or I could not have stuck with it to the end. There were no cliff-hanger chapters, no suspense or mystery or adventure. Just a lot of good writing about a man whom I admire all the more now that I know some of his foibles. This told much more of his greatness, but as a man, not a legend. One can't help wondering why he had to die, what might have happened if he hadn't. Useless to ponder, but still one does. Biography ( )
